He has the speed and determination and he would not have to think much about the game, this would allow Nedum to partner Anton and shackle Yakubu. |  |

No thanks, he was NWs go to boy, probably had him give out the oranges at halftime.
Think I'd rather risk onesize at CB. |  | | |

Fitz Hall will play well for the next few months. Contract up. |  | | |

You are more than likely right about Onesize and being honest he hasn't played badly lately, BUT he frightens the life out of me every time the ball goes near him. | |

Yep I think I'd have some of that Mackie at R/B one thing for sure he'd put a lot of effort into it |  | | |

Hall has been fine for most of the season, had a few poor games but no worse than any other defender. |  | | |

Need to score goals on Sat so drop SWP for Mackie instead. |  | | |

It was a badly mistimed tackle that busted his leg.You've also got that weakness to contend with now.Undoubtedly good at going forward,but a bit dodgy in the tackle.Mind you that's worked for Traore and Kyle Walker.... |  |

Mackie can play RB. Would have no doubts he would do a good job there if asked. I don't think he will be needed for that, but would be cover. I actually think the best right back option would have been Hogan with Young injured. But... |  |

Should have gone for Adam Smith from Spurs, who looked like Walker mark 2 for MK Dons. Now on loan at Leeds. Should have got him in. | |

Well if I remember correctly Mackie went to right back against Reading at home last year after Bradley Orr was sent off, and played one of best games for Rangers. (Ah what a glorious day that was, reduced to ten men and used our superior ball skills to quite literally pass around them...)
Just editing to make clear that, despite that performance, it would be terrible idea play Mackie RB!
However, think Fitz is an ok option at CB. Ability's never been the problem so maybe Clive's right and he'll be in blinding form until the end of the season. Makes our back four huge! [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

Excuse my ignorance..........
Is Young out? |  |

No thanks. Wouldn't want Mackie against Hoilett. Be surprised if that idea figured anywhere in MH's plans. | | | |

WHAT? What?
Look Mackie is not a defender so NO he can't play in defense. You need to understand positioning and be able to tackle to play right back. You can't just be good at running a lot.
I f**king despair sometimes the question is so stupid. |  |

if we do prove to be very short of options at RB, Mackie could potentially play there. I'm far from being his strongest advocate but to be fair, before he broke his leg, I saw him play quite a decent game at RB v Notts Forest ( around the time they 'won' the championship! |  | | |

Totally stupid because he hasn't played there before has he, or in fact played well there. And we have right backs coming out of our ears. | |

No way should Mackie be considered for a full back role in the Prem. Is he better than Young or is Young injured? Someone cited putting a lot of effort in as a reason to do it. LOL. Do me a favour.
He was good for us, when he played, at the lower level but the Prem is a stretch too far, unlike playing for the jox. |  |

What's this obsession with trying to find a place in the team for Mackie?
Isn't and never will be good enough for this league, ATAF |  |

Young is Hamstrung out for weeks
Wilson came from Chelsea A Midfielder became a F/B
Madix came from Spur's a Midfielder became a C/H
Was reading that Alick Stock bought a L/B from Luton who was he Malcom Mc Donald
nothing ventured nothing gained as the saying goes

Blackburn have two players in Martin Olsson and Junior Hoilett who can operate on the left that are decent. It'll be interesting to see who ends up out there, both are quick and nimble sort of players, so we'll need to be aware of that whoever we play at right-back, and that person is going to need defensive help from their winger too.
I'm not sure it's wise to put Jamie Mackie there, he had an excellent cameo against Reading that time, but that was more to do with being pumped up and playing on adrenaline in my view.
If Luke Young isn't available, we've some choices to mix it up, but each pose their own problems. If you take Nedum Onouha out of the middle, then we lack that extra bit of strength and agility needed to deal with Yakubu. But if we put Fitz Hall out on the right instead, we have the problem of him having to deal with quick and agile players, which doesn't suit him either. Danny Gabbidon if fit could do a job in either position as well, and has also played well at right-back this season against Wigan, but again, is probably more suspect to fast players out there.
Interesting either way. |  | | |

why to people feel the need to justify a place for mackie ,he will get 10 to 15 mins towards the end of games at best for the rest of season if he is lucky. | | | |

Yeah it is stupid - because he played there when we were playing at home vs a Championship and all he was doing was attacking. Not away in the Premiership for a six pointer.
If I didn't want us to win so much I'd almost like Hughes to do it so you can actually see how totally stupid you really are.
Of course Hughes won't do it because he isn't totally stupid.
If it wasn't a stupid idea he'd do it but i bet my bottom dollar he won't. Proof will be in the pudding kingo. | |

It's not about finding a place for Mackie it's about finding someone to fill in at R/B dont knock it suggest an alternative if you have one | | | |
